Is this just another one of many numerical coincidences that keep popping up in the 2020 election results that points to tabulation (adjudication) problems in the election system, or did Libertarians, Greens, and others just decide to vote for Biden?

As you will note, Trump's increase in votes from 2016 to 2020 is remarkably similar to 3 times the loss in WIMP votes. Did all those decide to vote for Trump 3 times? It makes as much sense as your contention.
Meanwhile back in reality -
There is no correlation between the numbers and even if there was correlation doesn't equal causation. Voters do not vote in a random fashion. They vote based on candidates and their emotions. Biden was much more likeable than Trump in 2020 so it is understandable that he got more votes. In 2016 both Trump and Clinton had large negatives so there was more reason to not vote for either. In 2020, there was a partisan feeling that if you didn't vote against the major party candidate you liked least they would likely win so there was more incentive to stick with the 2 major parties. Ignoring all those factors doesn't make a quality statistical analysis. It makes for GIGO.
